Is it just me or...

... are there a lot of people coming in here randomly posting and they only have one post?  This plus a OSB I am so confused.....

Re: Is it just me or...

  • I think people are just coming out of the woodwork..

    When I first posted on the nest, I didn't make an introductory post. I just started posting. The new people probably are too. We'll see if they stick around. Hopefully they do! This board could use some more people!! :-)

  • I've seen a few who just randomly post something and then you call them out and they are gone. I dont know if I ever had an introductory, I might have but dont remember.

  • Yea, I know we have had a few I think there are a few of us that call them out, I just think an intro is a great way to enter a baord, any board for that matter because how else are people going to know you... I mean we all know each other on a first name bases, IDK gues I am the only one that thinks that.

  • I'm pretty sure I just started posting on any board that I've posted on.  I think intro posts can be intimidating for new people.  Plus, maybe they're trying to get a feel for the board, and don't really want to take the time to "intro" themselves.  We also have to remember that this is a public board.  Though we all are familiar with one another, and most are on a first name basis, you just never know who is lurking.  Some may not be comfortable posting personal information of any kind on a public forum. 

    Of course, I could definitely be over-analyzing it all, and it is just the OSB.  But, just some things to keep in mind if we see new people post... I know that you mean well, and are trying to be welcoming when you "call out" the new person, but if someone is just posting for the first time, it may not sit well with them, as they don't know your personality yet.  kwim?

    Just my long winded 2 cents! :)

  • Some people intro, some dont. I dont think on the national boards its nessasary, but on local boards that are much smaller, an intro is nice.

  • for myself--I am all about the 30 second commercial

    hi I'm shelly, when I'm not chasing my incredibly different children, I enjoy internet stalking, wine, and cracking-the-occassional-joke.  I have zero fashion sense but figure my ability to digress makes up for it...who are you?

     

    for others--dude, just post or don't post. life is too short to intimidate or care about stars on bellies (did anyone read tht dr seuss book?)

     btw, I was thinking of getting another tattoo--any takers?!

  • I'm totally in for a tattoo party!

    I actually need to find a new artist here...  my fave one is in Ohio, and adding flight costs onto the price tags for new ink is getting spendy.  LOL

    How many tattoos do you all have, and where do you go?

     Mark with Wise Magic Tattoo on Tatum and Cactus is AMAZING!  I know several individuals who have used him and he does very clean, precise work!  

    I have one piece that I added onto.  It's my sir name in hebrew, inside a start, the star is shaded a like a torquoise blue, and then it has bright pink myrtles around it- there are 3 myrtles, each represents someone whom I love that has passed (myrtles stand for rememberance in Hebrew)

    Shelly- I'm not looking for another tattoo but I'll go with you!!

    He has a nice style for sure...  I love that his favorites are reptiles and amphibians, because I think I'm looking for another frog tattoo.  =)

    I might have to go check him out a bit.  Thanks!

     

  • I have 5....  a cross on my right ankle, an infinity sign on my lower left leg (think VERY top of foot/bottom of leg), a cross with my mothers death date below it in the "tramp stamp" spot, a lizard on my left shoulder and then a shamrock design on my right foot..

    I think i want to do something with my left foot. Not sure what yet though... another shamrock thing I think!
